<TITLE>11. Par 34-36</TITLE>L-34 But I'm afraid that many times in our moves our--our... Many of our brethren, just as humanistic as they was when they was a mixed multitude went up with--with Israel's. Why, so when the Israelis went out of Egypt, there was a mixed multitude, and they went... The phenomena had been done, and that's... It's a human element. And if we can just get away from that human element.
And that's the way--what this morning the breakfast means to me, setting here as you men... Perhaps Dr. Vayle might've invited all he could get a hold of to come to the breakfast. But because that the Lord moves in the supernatural, oh, it's spooky. "See, I ain't got nothing to do with that. I wouldn't degrade myself to--to associate with such." Did you know that was the attitude of the Pharisees? Did you realize that that's what they did?
Do you know, God never takes His Spirit? He takes His man, but never His Spirit. His Spirit comes from... The Spirit was on Elijah, come upon Elisha, come upon John the Baptist, and so forth. And the fulfilling of all of it was in Christ. He had the Spirit without measure, and that same... And do you know, the devil takes his man, but never his spirit? His teacher? His theologian? Just comes right on down, all the way from Cain, all the way down through the Bible, just right on down, rotating.

L-35 But brethren, in regards to that, as many times as I have questioned it to go into places to hold meetings, where I think that men, usually of a Bible education of a scholar, that certainly would stand on the Word of God, and see fantastics come in and all kinds of things that would... Just as the Bible said, and people with scars in their foreheads, and--and blood in their faces, and--and all kinds of oils running from their hands, and all kinds of fantastics. And they'd come in like that, and you know, people would flock to that? And I thought, "Oh, God, and the unadulterated Gospel being preached and just a few would listen."
But He said to me, "What is that to thee? Follow thou Me." See? That's right. These things has to be. See? So then, we're living in that day.
Brethren, let's keep our eyes on Calvary. Keep our hearts single with the Word. Preach the Word; be in season, out of season. Hold to that unchanging Word and stay.

L-36 When we landed in India, under difficults, the bishop of the Methodist church come to meet me and many others. And they told me that my set up was wrong, coming in, that the wrong group had sponsored me and so forth, and wanted me to turn my sponsorship from them over to this other group. And I said, "Brethren, as a man of honor, I must keep my word." That's right. I've been falsely advertised many times in different places, but, brethren, the reason that's happened is 'cause of I don't have any paper of my own. I don't have a television program. I don't have this or that. I--I try to keep myself where that I can come to a little church, or big church, or wherever the Lord will lead me.
Now, someone said the other day, I don't know where I told you or not. I was speaking in a place where a man said, "Now, we ask Brother Roberts to come."
He said, "You're too small."
Ask another brother to come. "You're too small."
And another brother, "You're too small." 'Cause they just a little church.
And said, "Brother Branham come."
I happen to be in the room and heard that, so I walked out. And I said, "Listen, brethren, as the brother was very nice in saying that, but the reason Brother Roberts didn't come, not because he didn't want to, but because a man that has to--is under an obligation, as Brother Roberts has..."
